Here’s something unexpected. While Highway Police Simulator lives up to its name, featuring the ability to attend emergencies and assess situations before issuing warnings or making arrests, what we have here is a story driven affair. The tutorial kicks off this crime-ridden tale, featuring an explosion on a prison bus – making for a dramatic …
After a couple of quiet weeks, the UK retail chart finally sees some new arrivals. The belated PS5 physical release of Black Myth: Wukong entered at #7, while also taking a respectable #3 in the PS5 top ten. The Xbox’s Indiana Jones and the Great Circle debuted at #18 in the all formats chart, meanwhile. …
While new releases are lined up for next week, including a tactical Star Trek battler set to launch on Christmas Day, this week pretty much sees the last noteworthy scheduled releases. Even Xbox Wire is done with this year, making the current new release round-up their last of 2024. PSVR2 owners have two titles to …
Publisher Dotemu (best known for Shredder’s Revenge and Streets of Rage 4) are teaming up with Blasphemous developers The Game Kitchen to create a new 2D Ninja Gaiden. Due out next summer on all formats, NINJA GAIDEN: Ragebound stars new hero Kenji Mozu, a young ninja. The story is set alongside the first game, with Ryu …
Capcom revealed not one but two future projects at The Game Awards, both of which are long requested sequels. Hideki Kamiya is returning to direct an Ōkami follow up, a collaborative effort between M-TWO Inc, Machine Head Works Inc, and CLOVERS Inc. Details are thin on the ground, with yesterday’s trailer being a mere teaser. Hideki …
Beating the odds, we’ve somehow gained a Dog Man game before a gaming adaptation based on fellow children’s book stalwarts Captain Underpants and Diary of a Wimpy Kid – both of which have gained silver-screen counterparts. The fact that a Dog Man film from DreamWorks is just around the corner likely had something to do …
Saber Interactive are, somewhat appropriately, bringing back Turok. One of the original Turok games had Sabretooth tigers, right? Turok: Origins is a complete reimagining of the franchise, opting for co-op speedy third-person shooting for up to three players. Melee attacks, ranged weapons, and special abilities will feature. Additionally, DNA from defeated enemies can be infused …
The arcade style racer Screamer made an impact on PC back in 1995, billed as the format’s answer to Ridge Racer. It’s one of the more forgotten early 3D racers of the era nowadays, but that hasn’t stopped Milestone from announcing a comeback. This reimagining, simply known as Screamer, draws from ‘90s anime and will …
This week could very well be the last major one of 2024 for new Switch releases, with the remaining releases of the year sporadically placed. There are a few games of note next week, including RPG Tokyo Clanpool, and…a new Star Trek game due on Christmas Day. As we said, the release schedule is rather …
The Switch eShop has seen dozens of Christmas-themed games over the past few weeks, and while we can’t vouch for all of them, the majority appear hastily thrown together. Slapdash efforts intended to profit from anyone looking for a sprinkling of seasonal cheer. Snowman Story is an altogether different proposition, developed by Japanese pixel art …
Although clearly influenced by Vampire Survivors, Entropy Survivors is far removed from being a cheap imitation or a lazy cash grab. It’s a fully featured spin-off title from the well-received Roguelike shooter Shoulders of Giants, and the higher entry price (£8.49) suggests it has had a modest budget and a long (or at least, standard) …
Despite it being the typically busy winter period, the UK top 40 features no new entries for a second week running. This means it’s a no-show for Square-Enix’s FANTASIAN Neo Dimension, which received a physical release on both PS5 and Switch. It didn’t even manage to make the lower end of the Switch top 20, …
Reviews of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle went live last Friday to coincide with the early access release, and were almost unanimously positive. Many critics claimed it was the best Indiana Jones game to date, which isn’t quite the compliment it may seem – we haven’t had a new Indiana Jones game in a …
Every now and then a game comes along that’s able to sell itself on its aesthetic alone. Mekkablood: Quarry Assault is one such example, featuring highly detailed pixel art and smooth animation. It’s a retro-style FPS with a twist – you’re behind the controls of a mech that shakes and sways while trashing around the metallic …
Evercade manufacturers Blaze Entertainment are partnering with SNK for new officially licensed NeoGeo products due throughout 2025 and 2026. Nothing has been officially announced just yet (a showcase is planned for late Q1 2025) but it seems sensible to suggest we’ll see new NeoGeo themed Evercade Alpha bartops and Pocket Arcade handhelds loaded with SNK classics. …
